What did wegner think happened to this supercontinent?
Wegner thought that the continents broke up.

How did Wegner's explain similar fossils on different continents?
By boook
What was the name of the scientist who created the theory of super continents?
Alfred Wegner
What did wegener hypothesize happen to the continents?
they drifted together to form a single continent
How did Alfred Wegner think mountains were formed?
Alfred Wegner thought they where made by such a huge force that comes form two continents smashing together.
What is the name given by wegner to the supercontinents he proposed existed before the curreny continents?
Alfred Wegner proposed the concept of a supercontinent called Pangaea, which he believed existed around 300 million years ago. Wegner suggested that Pangaea later split apart to form the continents that we see today.
What was wegner not able to solve in order to explain how his theory worked?
wegner was not able to prove how the continents move so his theory of continental drift got rejected.
How many landmasses did all continents form according to wegner?
Wegner didn't reconstruct the supercontinent now called Pangaea; that was done later by others who used his observations.
Who obtained new information about continents and their coastlines 400 years ago?
I believe Alfred Wegner
What information did Wegner need to strengthen his argument?
Wegner needed evidence of a mechanism by which continents could move, data supporting the idea of past and present continental positions, geological similarities between continents, and paleoclimatic evidence to strengthen his argument for continental drift.
When did Alfred wegner get vindicated?
Alfred Wegner was vindicated because he through that all of Earth's continents were connected into one giant supercontinent called Pangaea and it was due to continental drift (shifting of plate tectonics via convection currents) that the continents started drifting apart to what we see today. Unfortunately, Wegner had no proof of this so people thought he was crazy.
